Hello Nicki,

Welcome to the club nobody wants to join. I take pleasure in seeing your member number. (1500)
When I joined in July 03, I was member number #853. The foundation has grown to help many people.
You and your husband are in for a bumpy ride. You as a caregiver have a most important job. Sometimes we don't show it but we love you none the less.
Is your husband able to eat or does he have a feeding tube. I lost 25 lbs in two weeks but gained it all back in 6 weeks. I had a feeding tube. It's important for him to intake enough calories and nutrients to maintain his current weight and also heal from the treatments.

My cancer also was on my right tonsil. They removed it with surgery and followed that up with radiation.

Welcome again Nicki, I wish you and your husband the best.

Your Friend, Danny Boy
